"make them hurt where their heart would be, if they had a heart"
Father of Deepwater Horizon oil rig worker lost and a survivor speak to Congress

All Things Considered
House Panel Hears From Rig Victims, Company
Mr. JONES: You must make certain they are exposed to pain in the only place they can feel it their bank accounts. As a friend recently said, make them hurt where their heart would be if they had a heart.

NOGUCHI: Survivors said Transocean, their employer, cut back on personnel despite workers complaining of overwork. On the day the rig exploded, they endured searing heat and black smoke and screams of terror. Steven Stone, a worker on the rig, also complained about the way he was treated after the accident.

Mr. STEVEN STONE: Also, I never would've expected from my company Transocean to treat me like a criminal after I had survived such a disaster by making me submit to a drug test.

NOGUCHI: For the company seated at the same table, it was, to say the least, a tough act to follow. With no conclusive evidence about what caused the explosion, the representatives referred back to the legal language they felt applied.

1. I placed this post on today about the lawsuits that are being filled - Congress must act swiftly!
If they don't BP will be swallowed up by someone else or file bankruptcy - mark my words!
